Travel inspired stories on vegan living from the places we explore and the people we meet.

This horseshoe-shaped island is 57 square miles of green paradise with curvaceous shorelines to explore. Winding hilly roads take you through forests and past picturesque fields dotted by barns and orchards. It's as if you could get lost and hopefully never be found in its beauty as you wander between settlements. You'll wonder if you've slipped into a wonderland off the coast of the world.

Home has taken on a new meaning now. It’s wherever we are. And, that has been quite a few places recently. In the past 9 months, we have lived on busy downtown streets and snowy mountaintops. Our neighbors have been million dollar homes with manicured lawns and converted school buses with solar-paneled rooftops

Victoria is one of those cities where life is lived a little slower. Oh, sure there's all the amenities of a busy city and definitely all the restaurants. But, coffeeshops close early and many businesses are closed on Sunday. The secret, I think, is an appreciation for nature, the outdoors, and history...

Downtown Medford is made for strolling where local cafes and boutiques still believe in outdoor awnings. Nostalgia lingers here in ghost signs on historic buildings and marquee's on vintage theaters. Medford is guaranteed to grab your interest with 104 buildings on the National Register of Historic Buildings and a culinary scene complimented by local wine and craft brews...

When I dream of blue skies, I dream of San Francisco. The city of a thousand views captivates in many ways. My love of walking endlessly from neighborhood to neighborhood began here. My love of wandering from stall to stall at farmer’s markets began here. There are 260 sunny days in the city and this guide takes full advantage of that.

The best retreats are the ones with the least distractions and the least options for coming or going.

This was the summer in the Sound...

Here's a list of ways to travel with pets so you can stop making excuses. We use a combination of them. There are pros and cons for each option that will depend on personal preferences. We just want you to know that the possibility is there...

We heard it was a non-profit restaurant. Images of soup kitchens popped into my head. We heard people pay what they can and its ran by volunteers. We heard its locally sourced and they use as much organic ingredients as possible. Well, that was all we needed to hear to know we had to visit.

The yellow-bellied harbinger of Spring tilted his head back and told a tune of how happy he was to see the tall grasses grow again. His notes echoed off the ground through my feet and out of me. Then, he flew away...

Try to go through your day without using plastic. It’s practically impossible. Even if you’re a zero-waster you’ll encounter it at work, at the coffeehouse, at your favorite restaurant, at your next doctor appointment, even during a swim at the beach. Our plastic world is scarier than it’s shiny, durable, convenient facade let’s on. Yet, the full impact of our dependence on plastic is about as flimsy as those grocery plastic bags.

Plastic can be a useful resource but single use plastic is an unsustainable waste of that resource.

Silicon Valley's coffee scene is pretty much exactly what you're picturing. Coffee shops are buzzing with a lot more than just coffee. This is a place where things are happening. Although, coffee does seem to be the fuel that startups run on. In this list we share our fave Silicon Valley coffeehouses for working remotely.

You won't just happen upon this cafe. Even GPS seemed confused about how to get there. Like the name suggests, its accessed from a back alley stairway. Stacked atop a hookah bar and a taco joint, this unpretentious cafe is loved by locals.

You’re just skipping the middle-cow when buying plant-based yogurts!

Our guide to giving sustainably covers the basics. This is a gender neutral gift guide that's really meant to be more about the Earth than the person you're buying it for. Sustainable shopping this year, remember? That being said, we curated brands and products that value aesthetics along with environmental friendliness.

Here's our list of 8 eco-friendly household cleaners to save the day! There are over 62,000 chemicals on the market for use in industrial products and cleaners. Yet, companies are not required by federal law to list them on the packaging. The Environmental Protection Agency only requires companies to list "chemicals of known concern".

How we became vegans on the road quitting cold turkey, cold beef, cold chicken, and all other livestock manufactured for consumption. We discuss what lead us to the decision and the places we were visiting when it happened. Simple changes in diet to more plant-based meals can have healthy effects for people and the planet. And, it makes living vanlife easier!

The average American eats 200 pounds of meat each year. The average American female weighs 166 pounds. The average American male weighs 196 pounds. That's a whole human's weight in meat. And, 54 pounds of it comes from beef alone. How about trying #meatlessmonday?

Brightly painted orange, yellow, and school busses buzz by as the video pans to an indigenous woman surrounded by a rainbow of flowers. We soon realize we’re on the outskirts of market. Closer in patterned tapestries hang creating invisible walls between vendors. This is the first look at Utz Threads, a women’s weaving cooperative from Chichicastenango, a mountainous region in Guatemala. Born out of the ancestral art of weaving and the very modern need of working in a global economy, Utz Threads offers handmade products that function in a modern world with traditional techniques.
